CPS ENERGY SAFETY POLICY

• The health and safety of our employees and everyone else affected by our activities is fundamental to the success of our business. At CPS Energy, we believe that our long term success as a business is dependent upon the ability to keep our workforce and members of the public safe. Nothing that we do is so important that it cannot be done safely. Our policy is to create an environment in which no one is harmed. All Management should embrace safety at the highest level and exude a passion for continuous improvement and cascade that message throughout their organizations. Our relationships with our business partners and Union members are foremost to our sustainable success going forward. We will achieve this only by:

Setting the highest standards of care for all of our employees and business partners to go home at the end of each work day just as they start each work day will we achieve our vision.

• Complements existing compliance training.

• Protects our business partners and their employees.

• Supports CPS Energy’s goal of achieving an injury free work place.

4

PASSPORT OR COMPLIANCE TRAINING

• The Passport process does not cover or replace OSHA compliance training.

• It is designed to highlight safe working practices, raise awareness of hazards and complement the required compliance training.

• Contractor’s employees shall have their passport card and a valid picture I.D. on their person and show both upon request.

5

PASSPORT PROCESS

• The Contracted firm completes Employee Passport training, within 60 days

• The “Employee Passport Training” is completed through their own “Trainer”, having all employees sign the roster.

6

PASSPORT PROCESS (CONT.)

• The contracted firm acknowledges that all required “Passport Training” is complete for all their employees (internal and subs) by sending completed sign-in rosters to their CPS Energy Field Rep.

• Once CPS Energy receives the sign in roster, CPS Energy will issue to the contracted firm “Employee Passport Cards” for its direct employees, and any sub-contracted employees.

7

PASSPORT PROCESS (CONT.)

• The Contracted firm continues to train new employees as needed and send in the roster sheets to their field representative.

8

PASSPORT CARDS

• CPS Energy will continue to print new cards as training sheets are submitted for new contract employees

• Passport training for employees and trainers is required annually

9

PASSPORT REVOCATION

• The passport card may be cancelled for breaches of safety rules or unsafe acts.

• Contractor firms may be de-certified for:• Failure to provide required compliance training.

• Failure to provide passport training.

• Failure to enforce compliant safety policies and procedures while performing work.

10

PASSPORT QUESTIONS?

Caring

ACTIVELY CARING

CPS Energy principles of a ZERO HARM culture:

1.Each employee understands that working safe is a way of life.

2.Each leader owns the safety performance inherent to the employees, contractors, vendors and visitors for which he or she is responsible.

3.Each leader begins each meeting with a safety message.

4.Each leader models the behavior we expect to achieve ZERO HARM.

5.There’s no job or operation so important that we each cannot take the time to do it safely.

14

ACTIVELY CARING

CPS Energy principles of a ZERO HARM culture, cont’d:

6. All employees must proactively intervene to pull a co-worker out of harm’s way.

7. All employees are provided training to do their work in a safe manner.

8. Each employee has the right to question work before proceeding.

9. All employees are trained and held accountable to conduct peer-to-peer safety observations.

10. No one can take short-cuts at the expense of safety.

15

CPS ENERGY COVETED SAFETY RULES

• If it’s not grounded, it’s NOT dead.

• Personal protective equipment to be worn as required.

• Working at height 4 ft. above ground requires fall protection. This refers to a non-working surface and the use of the 3-point contact is necessary to ascend or descend from heights.

• Drive company vehicles responsibly as if they are your own.

• All jobs require a Pre-Job Safety Briefing (Tailboard) at the work site prior to starting the work.

• NEVER enter a confined space without testing of the atmosphere and means of extraction.

• Never put a member of the public in harm’s way.

16

REPORT ALL ACCIDENTS AND NEAR-MISSES

• CPS Energy recognize the link between serious injuries and minor incidents.

• To prevent injuries, we will learn lessons from the low consequence events.

• It is required that ALL accidents, injuries, and near-misses be reported immediately to your management team.

THE SAFETY PYRAMID

ACCIDENT PREVENTION

19

ACCIDENT FACTORSAccidents are seldom caused by a single factor, but rather multiple

factors and here are a few examples:• Speed

• Rain

• Distraction

• Cell phone

• Drugs/Alcohol

• Arguments

• Tight schedules

• Lack of training

All employees must be constantly vigilant, trained, competent, and empowered to deal with these and many more potential causes.

• Radio

• Poor sleep

• Important meeting

• Kids screaming

• Deadlines

• Headache

• Lack of qualification

• Lack of procedural enforcement

RECOGNIZE THE CAUSE

• To prevent accidents we must pay close attention to everything and everyone around us.

• It means that we constantly consider potential:

Failures and changes to systems and equipment around us

Changes in environment

Unsafe acts by others around us

• Each person must consider what they can do to control their own work area to protect themselves and others.

Recognize the Cause

EMPLOYEE CHARACTERISTICS

• Competent

• Trained

• Alert

• Drug and alcohol free

• Responsive

• Furnished with a plan

• Constantly vigilant

• In constant communication
